By: Doug Smock (WVGazette.com) -- HUNTINGTON - None of the current Marshall players or coaches were around for the sunny Saturday in September 2004 when the Thundering Herd made Ohio State sidestep a major upset on national television. But as they prepare to open the Doc Holliday era Thursday, they will try to match that effort, maybe exceed it and shock the nation. Whatever the case, the Herd travels to Columbus to take on the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes at ... Read More

The magazine's preview edition, which hits newsstands on Friday, also lists its Top 25 teams (more on that below) and its annual preseason All America Team. If you are a fan of the Buckeyes, act quickly because we expect newsstands in Columbus, Ohio, to sell out rather quickly -- due to ... Read More

By: Daniel Dinunzio (BleacherReport.com) -- This is the year for the Buckeyes.  If you look at the competition and the way the schedule sets up for Jim Tressel and Ohio State, they have a favorable lineup that could earn them a spot in Glendale, Arizona in early January. Terrell Pryor is starting to become a dual-threat quarterback who is equally effective throwing the ball in the pocket as he is tucking it and running.  Coming in as a true ... Read More

By WALTER DOERSCHUK (The-Press-News.com) -- It's only the end of July, but the Ohio State Buckeyes can already hear "OH-IO" as they prepare for the upcoming college football season. Devon Torrence, a 2007 Canton South High School graduate, is entering his senior year on the Ohio State football team. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time as a Buckeye. “It's been a great opportunity for me,” Torrence said. “I am truly blessed to play at Ohio State.” “It's crazy it has gone ... Read More

By: Todd Jacobs (Suite101.com) -- With little over a month until the first kickoff of the 2010 NCAA College Football season, there are few surprises with the Las Vegas odds to win BCS title. The Las Vegas Hilton Superbook released the odds to win the 2011 BCS Championship Game in January of this year and the odds on a few teams have been bet down as of July 15th but most teams at the top, such as the ...

From: BleacherReport.com -- The 2002 national championship game is controversial because Ohio State won by a referee’s bad call.  Not a missed call, a bad call. It came four seconds after the game ended, while the Hurricanes were celebrating victory.  If it were a blatant penalty in a big game, a flag would have been thrown immediately. Miami fans agree it was a bad call.  Ohio State fans rationalize that the referees missed a call earlier in the ... Read More

By: Christina De Nicola (BleacherReport.com) -- When it rains, it pours. Or in the case of South Florida, the heat continues on. A colleague of mine posted "Ohio State stole the crown in 2002, Miami steals the king in 2010" on Facebook following LeBron James' announcement to play for the Heat. On Friday, Seantrel Henderson was released from a letter of intent without restrictions by the University of Southern California following the NCAA scandal. Now, he will give the Hurricanes ...

By: Jeff Rapp (AthlonSports.com) -- For a few months in the winter, Terrelle Pryor was not the big man on campus, even after leading Ohio State to a win in the Rose Bowl. That’s because Evan Turner was captivating the college basketball world with his all-around excellence and his amazing comeback from a scary back injury, so much so that he raked in all conceivable recognition as the National Player of the Year. In the process, he also won ... Read More

By: Jack Jones (BleacherReport.com) -- The Ohio State Buckeyes are hoping that the 2010 season will land them in the BCS National Championship game for the fourth time in the past nine seasons, as they bring back 16 starters from the 2009 season where they went 11-2. The Buckeyes won the Big 10 title by going 7-1 in conference play, giving them at least a share of the title for the past five years. Even though this is a ... Read More

From: Cleveland Plain Dealer -- One of the most volatile periods in NCAA history continues, with the movement of prominent football and men's basketball programs from powerhouse conferences in the spotlight. Nebraska and Colorado will leave the Big 12: Nebraska to join the Big Ten; Colorado joining the PAC-10. A "Goodbye Big 12" vigil continues, apparently. Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are all but set to leave the league for the PAC-10, and Texas A&M might jump in, too. ... Read More

By: Will Frasure (BleacherReport.com) -- Terrelle Pryor’s Rose Bowl performance against the Oregon Ducks looked eerily similar to that of another former Buckeye QB in a BCS bowl game. In 2006, Troy Smith led a bludgeoning over the Notre Dame defense, throwing for 342 yards en route to a 34-20 victory over the Irish. Momentum from the game carried over into the next season—Smith led Ohio State to the national title game and took ... Read More

By: Jeff Seemann (Fox Sports Ohio) -- March 18, 2008 was a big day at The Ohio State University.  It was the day Terrelle Pryor officially signed his letter of intent to play football for the Buckeyes.

He skipped the National Letter Of Intent Day in ... Read More
